The original survey revealed that almost half of GPs were at high risk of burnout, with 97% saying they did not feel they are positively influencing people’s lives or accomplishing much in their role – figures that GP leaders said were hugely concerning for the future of the profession.

GPC chair Dr Chaand Nagpaul told Pulse: ‘We currently have unprecedented levels of GP stress, and risk of burnout. The BMA’s own tracker survey shows 74% of GPs think their workload is unmanageable, and unsustainable, and that’s higher than any other category of doctors.

‘I have advised CCGs to make sure their board have an item on GP pressure on each board agenda, because there is a huge risk of widespread burnout, and it’s important that CCGs support GPs and their practices.’

Went to do Burnout survey (anonymous)-but you MUST give e-mail address! errh-then that's not anonymous dumbo!We know we are burnt out....we don't need another bloody questionnaire to tell us the ******* obvious.Even PULSE simply don't get it.....we need action not bullshit.

I think that the survey could be better designed as it is too black and white. Personally I feel burnt out , and I may feel antogonism and irritation towards some patients, but in general I try and suppress that and do my best for each and every patient, but it comes at a great personal cost.
